Château Coutet Barsac Premier Cru Sauternes 2011

Successive generations have continued the foray into the lands of Barsac, far from the family’s stronghold in Alsace. Marcel Baly, always on the lookout for a new project, was the first, taking the bold decision to invest in a winemaking world he knew little about. From the first harvest, his sons Philippe and Dominique inevitably became caught up in the adventure. Today, Aline Baly is the third generation to join the family business. It may be an unlikely story, but it has bound the Baly family to Barsac and rooted it there since 1977. From their experience in other industries and other parts of the world, the members of the Baly family gained a distinctive way of learning about and understanding vines and wines. Together, they worked to renew the vineyard and renovate the buildings, then brought the estate into an era of advanced technical expertise by developing a close relationship with the people from Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA.
